Important information!

Prior the departure with an international flight, please make sure:

• that your signature appears inside the passport. In many countries, the lack of recorded personal signature is a violation of the immigration rules;
• that there is machine-readable entry at the bottom of your passport key information page, which contains basic information about the owner of the document. If the machine-readable entry of the document contains no data or contains incomplete information about the owner of such passport, then the passport might be declared invalid, so in this case the passenger will be denied permission to cross the state border for the reason of impossibility to execute the automated identification of a person’s identity and personal data;
• the demonstrated actual state of the passport as a document. If its wear condition is unsatisfactory, you may be denied the entry into your destination country. The unsatisfactory demonstrated actual state of the passport includes the following faults:
  - torn pages in a passport;
  - lack of pages in a passport;
  - unauthorized marks, notes or entries at the passport’s pages;
  - break of a document integrity.
